1) Last time I asked if some of you would try putting 'Gosport.info' (without the quotes) in your browser to see if the web site came up. Thank you to all of you that did, and
advised me of the results. Broadly it seems most browsers found the web site at www.gosport.info though unfortunately it seems from some replies that IE7 does not and requires the full www.gosport.info to be put in, it may be due to the way IE7 has been set-up on each computer. I was asking this as I thought Gosport.info would be fine so started doing the sites publicity in the form Gosport.info rather that the full www.gosport.info. It seems I will have to go back to www.gosport.info.
2) The Gosporteers and Provincial Society 51st Vehicle Rally is at Stokes Bay Gosport, next Monday the 27th (the Bank Holiday) from 11am to 5pm 'Area Events & Children's Entertainments - 'The
Tigers' Children's Motorcycle Display Team - Other Displays. Parade Around Gosport & Lee-on-the-Solent of Classic & Vintage Cars & Vintage Buses Admission £5 Accompanied Children Free - surplus
for good causes including the Mayor of Gosport's Charities. I will also be there with a stand so you can come and tell me what you think can be done to improve Gosport.info.
3) I have been asked to
go on the radio and talk bout Gosport.info it is Express FM www.expressfm.com 93.7 FM at 11:15am Friday 24th, in Portsmouth, it also covers the Gosport area. I have not done anything like this before, but I hope that it will mean even more people sending in information, memories and photos of Gosport now and in the past, to be added to the web site.
4) The Leesland Park www.leeslandpark.ik.com 'ParkFest 07' plans are well underway for Saturday 22nd September afternoon and evening. Have a look at their web site for details so far, but will have live bands, children's entertainment, stalls, information stands, ale etc. and hopefully food. They are also asking the following; 'Would you like to promote your organisation, host a stall, recommend a band etc? For further information or to submit an idea please contact Phil Sandall, tel: 023 9252 7310 or email philip.sandall@btopenworld.com.' I am going to have a busy day as it is the same day as the Gosporteers Michaelmas Fayre
(and I believe the Alverstoke Michaelmas Fayre) I am due to have a stand at the Leesland and Gosporteers event, so if you see someone rushing in with a bike trailer trying to put up the stand
it will be me. You will be able to make a day of it morning/ early afternoon Michaelmas Fayre, then on to the Leesland Park for live music, food and drink.
5) I have added the details of Regency
Investments to the Businesses Section under 'Gambling' in error and apologise for any confusion. I understand Regency Investments is a 'Professional Horse Laying Service' I was not sure what it was as
I do not know much about horses. It explains it on their web site at http://www.freewebs.com/regencyinvestments/ . I have now put it on 'Financial' and 'Business and Fund-raising Opportunities' so I hope that is better. I understand that it is run from Bridgemary.
Best wishes,
